After the land rent is permanently set to one-quarter of the in-kind tax this year.

The rural people were just happy. One morning a few days later, after reading the documents brought by the butler, Link asked: "There are people in the city who want to farm?"

Housekeeper: "Yes, this is the information collected by the officials at the bottom. Now, there are only a few hundred families in Hongtu City who apply to farm. It is not too many, but it can also build a village."

Link: "Has the cause been investigated?"

The housekeeper: "The officials at the bottom have asked that the Marquis of Raphael now reclaims one-quarter of the farm tax after tax, and farming is also a good business. You know, everyone always thinks that people in the city are better than those in the countryside, and finding a job here is easier. In fact, the job opportunities in the city are also limited, and many people spend their days working for a short period of time.

Such people do not have a high income and can only make ends meet. According to the eldest son inheritance method, the only things that the eldest son in the city can inherit include property. The son of a good blacksmith may not necessarily become a good blacksmith. The son of a good vendor may not necessarily be a good vendor.

This problem arises. Although local chambers of commerce will recruit coolies in the short term when unloading and loading goods, this is not a stable job.

Many people think that in the long run, farming in the Marquis of Raphael is a good job now. The Marquis is still a legendary strong man and can live for at least a thousand years. Even if the next Marquis of Raphael increases the rent, dozens of generations in the countryside have passed."

The housekeeper continued: "On the mainland, at least the area of ​​the Holy Empire, the land rent is generally between 40% and 50%. Generally speaking, 50% of the agricultural tax is collected in places with fertile land, and 40% of the agricultural tax is collected in places with barren land. It is said that the climate in the south of the Shenglong Empire is warm and the rivers are dense, and rice is planted there two ripe a year. However, the agricultural tax in the Shenglong Empire can be collected in places with 60%.

Now that the Marquis set the agricultural tax at 25%, the people with low income in the city naturally want to go farming rather than farming."

Link nodded: "Okay, the people in the city are unwilling to join the army. When they go to the local area, they can finally work steadily. Now two fortresses and two strongholds have been opened in the territory, and they can actually become villages and towns, just waiting for someone to farm."

Link thought for a while: "Let's arrange the soldiers who retired this year and next year and the immigrants who apply for farming to farm at two strongholds on the way."

The housekeeper: "According to the rules of new immigrants, the official will prepare a set of iron plows, a plowing ox, and seeds and rations for each new immigrant. Now the number of plowing ox stocked in the territory is not enough."

Link: "Then go buy it."

The butler took out a document: "I am ready to purchase the materials, and I need your signature from the Marquis."

Link looked at the documents and signed them.

After reading a few more documents, a guard rushed in: "Mr. Marquis, I found the wolf smoke."

“Where’s the location?”

Guards: "It's the direction of Baishan Fortress."

"Then I'll go and have a look." After saying that, Link opened a portal to the White Mountain Fortress. It's convenient to say that magic is.

When I walked out of the portal, I saw soldiers burning wolf smoke on the city wall.

After Link arrived, the soldiers saw Marquis of Link Raphael and immediately knelt on the ground. Link asked, "What's the situation?"

The officers stationed here: "I can see it."

Link looked over from a distance. A troll from a large group of 1,000 meters away and some centaur monsters were divided into two groups, striding towards the Baishan Fortress. The cavalry of the Baishan Fortress tried to lead the monster away, but there was an archer in the sky who kept shooting arrows at the monsters, and then led the monsters to the Baishan Fortress, causing the cavalry's attempts to fail again and again.

After reading all this, Link said, "Let the cavalry come back."

When the officer heard this, he immediately asked someone to ring the gong and yell the gold to withdraw the troops. When the cavalry heard the order, they retreated towards the Baishan Fortress. The monsters' eyes were staring at the human archer who kept shooting archers at them. The centaurs kept shooting archers into the air, and the trolls kept throwing stones and some debris into the air, but the archer in the sky moved very quickly. The monsters' attacks were useless.

The Sacred Domain archers in the air shot several arrows from time to time. Although they could not kill centaurs and trolls, they could make the monsters furious and constantly chased the Sacred Domain archers and approached the Baishan Fortress little by little.

Link took out a cigar, lit it with his index finger, took a breath and said, "It has been less than a year since the White Mountain Fortress was established, and all the monsters and monsters have begun to pop out."

However, Link didn't care. As the old saying goes, there is no mine that doesn't carry blood.

It is necessary to withstand waves of pressure to successfully start the mine. Otherwise, you can sell it early to avoid trouble.

Since knowing the value of the saltpeter mine in Baishan Fortress, Link has been prepared to kill people.

Although I don’t know who sent this archer at the Sacred Realm level, it makes sense that he didn’t let go of the wrong kill.

Link pulled out the legendary long sword and when the monsters had advanced to about 600 meters, one person flew out from the walls of the Baishan Fortress and headed straight to the Sacred archers in the air. The Sacred archers kept paying attention to the situation of the fortress. When they saw someone flying out of the fortress, they flew higher first, so that the centaur's bows and trolls' throws could not be thrown up.

The flying archer of the Sacred Domain looked at Link in the air, then made a provocative move towards Link with his thumb down, then opened a portal directly in the air, and then prepared to fly in.

It turned out that this Sacred Domain archer was also the master of a magic and martial arts cultivator, but this person underestimated Link. Link suddenly used the flashing skill in the air, and then accelerated in the air in the second stage. A distance of more than 100 meters flashed past. The Sacred Domain archer walked into the portal, but the moment his legs and head entered, his neck was cut off by Link in the air.

Although the other party's neck was cut off, the archer of the Sacred Domain still walked into the portal according to inertia.

In the Duke of Gattuso's mansion, the portal flashed. The Sacred archer had just walked in and saw his father. Before he could speak, his head tilted and fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood was spewing out of his neck.

The archer of the Holy Land who wanted to say something but didn't say it opened his head on the ground, but in the end he didn't say anything. He widened his eyes and looked at his headless body, and died like this.

The Duke of Gattuso in the hall saw his beloved son tragically and shouted: "Who is it, who killed my son."
